Lithium battery CR 2032
On the side of the transmitter board opposite the
transmitter battery there is a fi xture containing a
lithium battery, type CR 2032, which can be replaced
by the user.
This battery maintains the date and time
settings during a transmitter power supply
outage, for example when the transmitter's
main battery is being replaced.
General charging instructions
•
Follow the charging instructions of the
charger manufacturer and battery manu-
facturer.
•
Do not exceed the maximum permissible
charging current of the battery manufac-
turer. To prevent damage to the transmit-
ter, the transmitter charging current should gener-
ally not exceed 1.5 A. Limit the charge current if
necessary.
If the transmitter battery is charged with more
than 1.5 A, it must be charged outside of the
transmitter. Otherwise, the printed circuit board
may be damaged from overloading the printed
connectors and/or overheating the battery.
• Perform a few test charges to make sure that the
automatic cutoff of automatic chargers works.
This is especially true when you want to use an
automatic charger to charge the NiMH battery
which comes standard in the mz-18 HoTT trans-
mitter, or the lithium battery which comes stand-
ard in the mz-24 HoTT transmitter. Monitor the
cutoff behaviour if the charger that you are using
has this option.
• Do not discharge the battery or run battery care
programs using the charging socket. The charg-
ing socket is only for charging.
• Always fi rst connect the charging cable to the
charger, and then connect it to the receiver or
transmitter battery. This prevents unintentional
short-circuiting with the bare ends of the charging
cable plug.
• If the battery becomes hot, check the battery and
exchange it or reduce the charging current.
• Do not charge the batteries without
monitoring them.
• Follow the safety instructions and han-
dling guidelines starting page
Stick length adjustment
The length of both sticks can be continuously ad-
justed to adapt these transmitter controls to the pilot's
preference.
Hold the lower half of the knurled grip in place then
turn the upper section to release its counter-locked
threads.
Now pull up or push down on the stick's end to the
desired length. When the length is suitable, tighten
the counter-locked threads of the upper and lower
sections again.
